Re: Broken springs in pillars

Using the method Bob Bernardo described, to tap the spring with another pin, it is very important to either support the post or remove it in case it is a threaded post. For support you can use a wood block at the back of the post, it is helpful if you have someone else to help you.

Broken spring removal pliers almost always work for this. There are several different types and some are better than others but even the most basic ones (such as these http://www.musicmedic.com/catalog/products/tool-pl104.html) usually work.

I'm not sure what RoBass means with "But if the spring hole was not bored penetrating, the pop-out-method wouldn't suceed". Maybe he meant the spring broke in a way with some burs or slightly crooked so doesn't go through the hole, but this doesn't really happen if the spring broke flush or inside the hole. But RoBass said "spring hole" so it's confusing since the hole doesn't penetrate anything.
